Strange Dreams

Does anyone else get strange dreams if they play computer games before going to bed?

Yes!!

Thats really weird. I was playing for quite a while last night with Wayne on Call Of Duty, and yes - I did have some strange dreams. I felt I was almost hallucinating before I went to bed.

strange=good

I like to play xbox, drink wine and eat cheese before bed... i get crazzzzzy dreams... like KISS.


just been back on after a

just been back on after a long absence from the xbox, and god am i rubbish

Yeah

I bet you are not as rubbish as Joe who couldn't beat me on my first ever go! Ha ha.

oh god no, I haven't got as

oh god no, I haven't got as rubbish as Joe, that would be shocking
(sorry Joe, only joking)

Heh heh

There's been some quite good COD nights lately with Philbo & Deadmonkey & people all on-line.

My last game on Saturday night was quite funny and enormously lucky. In the last 4 seconds I was 3 kills behind phils name sake the belfast philbo and came around a corner and saw 5 of the opposing team running towards me in a big line. Oh no I thought, it's time to die. Luckily before I had time to finish that thought I'd wasted the guy nearest to me. Lucky I thought and took out the next two with one shot right through both of them, now only 2 left surely they must have noticed the slaughter by now. The next one hadn't and ran right into me and onto the knife dying instantly but the last one had noticed me and was raising his rifle, unfortunately for him far too slowly and I blew his head off just as the time ran out.

Rich thinks COD is hide and seek, where he hides and never ever comes out.

Loser

You still lost ha ha.

Joe, I take it was lagging

Joe, I take it was lagging for you to wipe out 5 in a row ;)

Sure was

I was probably lagging quite a lot but luckily my professionalism, sharp reactions and pure skill were enough to overcome it and wax those homies good ;-)

XBOX Live

I'm back on X-Box live if anyone fancies a game of table tennis or Halo 3 or Gears of War or one of the other games I've got.

eagerness

you should find a few people online for Gears at the moment.. seems to be a popular online choice at present. Phil, particularly, enjoys it and then enjoys going into cod4 matches to tell everyone how much he prefers Gears of War and how shit cod4 is.... It was most amusing.

still not played Gears yet

still not played Gears yet

dull

It's alright but moving the man around is like walking through treacle compared to the COD4 man. He just moves soooooo slowly. The actual game is supposed to be good though but I haven't got bothered to get past the 1st level in the last 8 months.

the magic 'a' button....

I don't think you've got used to the 'a' button. If you hold the 'a' button down while moving you can run. I prefer the controls on gears, although they take a bit more getting used to. I like the way you can pear out from behind cover - something you surprisingly can't do on COD4

sluggish

Even when you are running it still feels sluggish though, the whole games just feels sluggish its like they're running it on hardware which is just slightly too weak to run it properly.

The feel

I think that's a deliberate design choice.. the soldiers are like great hulks in their exageratted armour and physical frame... The locust too are bulky - when the wretches appear their relative speed is genuinely unnerving!

I'm with Phil.. I prefer the game to cod4 in terms of replayability. The only thing missing on multiplayer is a free-for-all. Makes odd numbered matches a pain.

are you saying that Gears is

are you saying that Gears is a good game for people that aren't very fast, that need time to think about what they are going to do and like to hid behind walls and look out at people?

Yep

That's it, the best gun seems to be a sniper rifle which just about sums it all up.

No...

I think what he is saying is that he isn't very good at it. Ha ha.

But...

Joes not very good at COD4 either.

it's all relative

You win around 50% of the time at 1 on 1 but the other 50% of the time you get your ass whupped good and proper my lad. I don't understand why you don't do better on the proper team games though, you don't seem to be able to kill anyone on those.

wrong...

Your statistics are all messed up my boy( I let you win the occasional one off match so you don't start crying). Anyway, I haven't played it for half the time you have - surely you should be some kind of a unbeatable master by now? I mean come on!! Even Rich whipped your ass good and proper, and he'd never played the game before.

weak pitiful child

You count about as well as you shoot my lad and just in case you're in any doubt an elderly goldfish could probably count better.

I don't recall Rich whipping anything when I made him play shipment, I do remember him dying every 3 or 4 seconds and I did enjoy thoroughly enjoy testing out every possible way to slaughter people, knifes, exploding grenades, unexploding grenades, pistols, successful 200M full frontal knife dashes etc etc. My only real regret is that you only get 1 air attack & helicopter per lifespan and that even when I was jumping up and down on the crates shooting my gun in the air Rich was still having trouble killing me so I could get more. I'm fairly sure Rich was worshipping me like a God by the time I was done with him.

Ha ha ha ha ha

That's not how I recall that game....

No

Thats probably concussion

seriously, there is no way

seriously, there is no way you should be able to beat Joe on Shipment one on one if you have never played it before, unless you are an old COD2 player, but even then i doubt it ...

So, did Rich really win, if not, why would they lie about it?

No

He didn't, it was a slaughter and he didn't stand a chance.

I did feel quite guilty about setting up the map but thanks to his hiding in the bushes crying like a girl behaviour in the previous game he really left me no option.

What's that I smell?

Is it bullshit...

Oh Jesus Christ Mary Mother Of God

Rich, have you just shat yourself ?

I'm sorry, we just won't discuss this anymore if you're shitting yourself with fright even this long afterwards. The best bet is if you just find a nice bush to hide under and we say no more about it.

X-Box

I can't believe I'm debating computer games....

haven't played gears so

haven't played gears so can't comment, though personally COD4 rules, although COD2 was damned good

fair enough, if i bounced a

fair enough, if i bounced a grenade off someone's head and then stabbed them in the back, after coming from that distance i will think myself worthy of that title, however, i would just put it down to lag rather than my skill

Joe, do you worship me like

Joe, do you worship me like a god on COD4?

Not quite yet

You've never reduced me to a state of quivering in the bushes hiding like a girl yet and you've also never ran towards me with your knife across the whole length of shipment bounced a grenade off my forehead ran around behind me and stabbed me in the back without being hit by any of my bullets. If you manage either of those two things I may well begin building you a church.

Me neither....

Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit. Joe you are shit.

are you sure?

are you sure?

Yep.

Of Course.

how would you know ?

I doubt you're able to see anything thats going on from your position quivering with fear in the bushes !

Ha ha.

Bang bang. You are dead.

i don't think its much of a

i don't think its much of a surprise that those on COD4 say they prefer it and those playing Gears prefer that, otherwise they are a bit stupid playing a game they don't like when they prefer another

Gears of War

I think its rather entertaining. There were some americans on there last night expressing the same sentiment as phil - "Call of Duty sucks this game is the mutherfucking bomb" or something like that.

Gears of war!

I much prefer gears of war to the very disappointing COD 4.

Consensus

It seems that Joe is rarely correct!

ashame you can't have a

ashame you can't have a gears of war v COD4 fight off to decide which is the best

Or...

What you mean like Aliens Vs Predator?

yep

yep

Long held dream

I've always thought it would be ace if games companies built compatibility layers for their games engines so you could do exactly that. I also think it would be appropriate if the first mash up they made once they'd done that was M*A*S*H where people could play golf whilst other people called in airstrikes and helicopters onto the green.

COD4 man vs Gears Of War man would be very short though, Gears Of War Man would have had his head sawn off by COD4 mans knife before he'd finished lumbering about trying to put his boots on.

Cross fertilisation

I think this whole mash up thing needs to go wider.. TV programmes need to explore the possibilities of merging characters and plots. I long to have Batman appear in casualty.... or the Terminator appearing in Albert Square. Why aren't they doing this???

Cross Fertilization

Tucker Jenkins is now in the Bill I see.
